I have a 1988 comanche 4.0/4x4/auto short wheel base. Its lifted at about 7.5 inches in the back and 4.5 in the front from the previous owner. I plan on putting a long arm kit on it this December and leveling it out. The PO got a custom drive shaft made but is still not long enough. Now the Tail housing seal of the transfer-case is leaking badly, after I just put the new Iron man 4x4 motor mounts and transmission mount in along with a cooling system and a bunch of other stuff. Im all about Fixing stuff right the first time and overdoing it if I can. I want to go ahead and put a SYE since I am at that boarder line height with a SWB mj that I need it. I'm also going to go with a new drive shaft. I was looking a Rusty's SYE kit. It includes the advance adapter SYE and a Tom woods Drive-shaft for $480.00 Is this a good deal. point me in the right direction on who to buy from. I want the best quality for the cheapest I can get ( but then again isnt everybody). I do not want to lower the mj, that has been suggested before, It is a beach truck with mild wheeling and muding done. Im just going to level it out at 7.5 inches.

Here are some pictures of the truck. Drive Shaft and the tail housing leak

Here is the truck












Last question. Could I resale the old drive shaft??? I think that it would be exactly right for a 4.5 inch lift (dont know measurements though, that what Im guessing). If I could sell it on here what would be a fair price?

oh yeah, and that appears to be a shortbed. so your wheelbase stock is 113"

Well I just went ahead and bought the sye with a custom length drive shaft from Tom woods yesterday. My wallet is screaming, but I just want to do it the right way, and I just want to drive my mj again....

Same kit I have man.. only I bought them for alot less (seperate). I did brake my rear Tom Woods drive-shaft. The double-cardian blew up. That being said, even though I was outside the warranty, he quickly sent a replacement. I have made sure to keep it lubed this time around and have had no problems. The Advanced Adapters kit has given me no trouble in over 100,000 miles. Good choice!
